"There is now translated into French a book entitled the Federalist, or a collection of pieces in favor of the constitution, proposed for the United States of America, by the Convention of 1787, published in New-York, by Messieurs Hamilton, Madison and Jay, citizens of the United States. The bookseller, Buisson, has done France great service, especially in her present circumstances, in publishing this work which is clearly the best the world has hitherto seen on the subject of confederate government. It must be confessed, however, that in some places, there are passages, taken in certain views, wherein we may remark an aristocratical tendency; but in general the political maxims are excellent."
